Because Bradford need the money?

And maybe Lynch wants to leave !

if he's come for a small fee (and I would say small would need to be less than £50k) then I doubt it will make much of a dent in Bradford's debts.

Its all about the player if the player hands in a transfer request or tells Bradford he wants out then they would be a fool not to cash in on him.

True but I guess it also depends on what he is earning at Bradford and what youngsters they have to bring in. If they can see a way to offload him for a cash fee and bring in a suitable youngster they will save on his wages as well as earning a small fee as well.

Maybe AP only watches the BBC coverage of the game and sees them as a "dream" team !
Clare Balding might get the conditioners job? And Jonathan Davies at right centre ?

Just had a txt from a good source. Lynch is saying he knows nowt about it and laughed it off.

I don't see why we're taking on an ageing prop and not bringing our youngsters through. (If indeed it's true)

I like Lynch but i agree we already have plenty of "experienced" props in the side for next season. If we are going to pay a fee it would be more beneficial long term to look at a younger prop with plenty of years on the clock or better still promote from within if the players we have are capable.

Nothing would please me more as he's a smashing feller. You're actually on the right lines as he's played far too many minutes in an awful team.

Yes but who can we get what fits that criteria at prop that is why I said about some of the quality older guard going about.

How about Sonny Bill how old is he these days



Now that would be a statement of intent

Would not be happy about Morgan as a coach. Not only is he a prize prat, I would want a proven coach who has been involved in actual winning teams.

Noble I would be fairly happy about.

As for Lynch, he would be a good addition IMO but we would definatley need another younger prop as well as him. Either promote one of our lads or look elsewhere.

Me too. I'd go as far as saying I'd be gutted.

Don't get me wrong I would prefer a top level proven Australian coach to take over - I would far and away prefer that.

However having given it some thought I don't think Morgan's record is that bad compared to Agar's. Morgan has had less money to work with and a chairman making signings he probably didn't want on the basis of juvenile fan points scoring. With better players to work with and better facilities he may well improve more as a coach. Morgan's young player development is questionable and he likes his Aussie mates by all accounts. When it comes to motivational ability R****s have been consistently better motivated in the majority of derbies since their return to the top flight, whilst some of our performances against "lower" teams have exposed a shocking lack of motivation during Agar's tenure.

Noble would be a decent DOR in my view and I believe our club needs someone in that role going forward - we need to strengthen the on field performance so let's get an extra employee in who knows the game.

What debts?

Last set of accounts, apart from a few £k owing to the Club President, [ithere were no debts[/i.

eh, you owe money to the Club President, that is a debt.

And good luck to him in whatever he does

Sky pundit, got to be.

Hmmmmmmmm!!

Maybe days are over as a 'head' coach,

Maybe a DOR?? or coaching in a youth set-up??

a DOR isnt a coaching role

but it is stressful

if McRae is appointed having said he didn't want "the stress" then it's really bad PR.

I reckon so. Talks more sense in his first words than E&S have in 20 years

Classic Standee.

Would still concern me that the only one of those likely to give us more than 2 years appears to be made out of porcelain. If we really are going for 2 props and one of them is Lynch, O'Carroll is not a good choice for the other IMO.
